For readers of Allie Brosh, Bless the Messy is a compassionate, distinctive, and voice-driven illustrated personal growth book, one that gives readers permission to radically love themselves, feel their feelings, and live with joy even as — especially as — they may fumble through major life moments, or feel othered by society’s narrow norms.
